Abstract

This study explores the semantic and lexicographic characteristics of abstract nouns in English and Uzbek, two linguistically distinct languages. By examining the conceptualization, categorization, and dictionary representation of abstract nouns, the paper highlights both convergences and divergences in how these languages encode intangible concepts. Utilizing data from existing linguistic research and lexicographic resources, the study provides a nuanced understanding of the cultural and cognitive underpinnings that shape abstract noun usage in each language.
